Mo Money Mo Problems

This will be my last post referencing newly elected Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Annette Ziegler, I swear...

Great piece in today's State Journal about to what extent a judge or justice ought to recluse themselves from a case in which an involved party contributed to their campaign. Can you imagine if legislators did the same thing? It'd be a thing of beauty! Reason being, there soon would be no more money involved in an election.

It does raise an issue of to what ought be done regarding campaign finance. I don't know what the correct idea is, but I wonder why the idea of a spending cap hasn't arisen. Basically, candidates are still on their own for fundraising, but strategy in spending funds and when becomes pivotal, knowing that their opponent(s) are operating with the same budget. It'd be the fastest way to make sure we don't have a quarter-billion dollar presidential race next year...
